I finally got around to taking my collection of work decorations into the office, and yesterday I put most of them up in my cube. I guess that means this is my job now ( Read more... )

I'd hoped to finish my epic comparative religion post today (the Chantry vs Yevon), but it's turning out even more epic than I planned, so you get a random life update instead ( Read more... )

The long meta post I was going to put up today (about Dragon Age dwarves) didn't get completed to anywhere near my satisfaction -- I didn't even think about dwarf Inquisitors yet -- so I'm now holding that until tomorrow. (BTW, there's still plenty of room to request post topics!) So you get a quick post-for-the-sake of posting instead ( Read more... )

...is that I feel like each entry should have one and only one topic. I've never done ramble-y general life posts over on Tumblr, because if I want to talk about more than one thing, it makes more sense to make a different post for each. And these kinds of posts are more suited to a venue with comment threads anyway ( Read more... )

And it went well. At least I think it did. Maybe not a slam dunk, but I felt good about it.

 Seven more work days before my job comes to an end. Part of me looks at that number with panic -- how on earth am I going to finish everything I planned to finish between now and then -- and part of me wishes that it were much, much smaller.  Either way, I can't quite believe that it's going to be over soon. I spent six and a half years in that ( Read more... )

I've brought my laptop into work the last few days. The theory is that I will use it to do job-hunt related stuff, the practice… well, let's just say I foresee another day of bursts of getting things done interspersed with total apathy. Yay, senioritis. I really need to sit down with folks soon and make a plan, prioritizing the things I need to get ( Read more... )

I got a layoff notice on Wednesday. My last day is September 25th ( Read more... )

1. As of this week, I'm back on a Monday-Friday schedule at work (I've been mostly working Tuesday-Saturday since mid-April). I'm happy to get my traditional weekends back, sad to lose my nice laid-back Mondays, and overall just really confused about what day it is now. I'll get back in the swing of it soon, but it's going take some time to adjust ( Read more... )

Finally, finally this quarter is over -- Saturday was the last day of classes, Monday I had a presentation to faculty, and today was our all-school meeting, which pretty much rounds things out. I guess I never did write that epic post about why it was such a stressful time, but I promise you aren't missing much besides lots of complaining. I don't ( Read more... )
